The toughest fights are taking place in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Haryana where MLAs had been corralled to resorts to prevent poaching.
However, in Karnataka, at least one Janata Dal (Secular) MLA K Srinivasa Gowda said he voted for the Congress "because he loved it". Additionally, there was uncertainty about one more vote. JDS chief HD Kumaraswamy alleged "horse-trading" and said, "30 out of 32 stood by us."
